Rich Franklin really showed that he has power and still has the speed he had at 185. I think he would beat pretty much everyone not in the top 10 and quite a few of the top tens. Also Marquardt had a really good showing.
So who was everyone else impressed with last night?
on a side note: That was the least amount of booing i have heard at a UFC event all year

Franklin and Marquardt looked really good. Palhares lost, but looks to be a force at MW. I would say that I was most impressed by McDonald though...I thought for sure that Lambert would have the wrestling edge, but McDonald just completely tooled him.

Marquardt and Rashad
really looking forward to seeing Palhares again
Henderson didn't want to know
He's a machine, if he improved his stand up he'll be fighting for the title before long, despite the loss

I was very impressed with Rashad and Nate. All around this was a good card.

Probably Matt Brown. He had an atrocious ground game when he fought on the show (at least the one fight I saw). He looked like he really improved.

I too was agin impressed with Paul Harris- he made Hendo look bad. (I like Hendo)
Id have to say that Rashaad was most impressive though.

it's pretty safe to say Rashad Evans was the most impressive last night. that was probably one of the top 3 best knockouts in UFC history. major props to Rashad. also Matt Brown was much improved and in my opinion deserved the win.

marquardt used to be a very deliberate, and somewhat boring fighter at times when he got to the ufc, but since he lost to silva he has been aggressive and has showed 1 million percent improvement in his stand up. i am quickly becoming a fan.

Marguadt, I dont like the guy at all. Wont bother to correct the wrong spelling of his name. But he was impressive. I dont like him cause I am sick to my stomach of hearing excuses from the Thales fight. First of all, the fight should have been a DQ win for Thales. Did anybody notice that Nate only started fighting good, after he illegally kneed the guy in the head. I wonder how Nate would have finished that fight if Thales illegally kneed him in the head. Thales deserved that win. In this fight, I thought Kampman would be elusive against Nate, we all know how great Nate's ground game is, well he can standup too.

He made Hendo look bad? You think? Henderson's sprawl was ridiculous. I thought Henderson made him look bad.

Rashad by far, he showed he is more than just a wrestler, great performance. Franklin also looked very good.
